Musk isn’t DOGE’s chief. Who is Amy Gleason?
Washington Post via MSN ^ | Feb 26, 2025 | Victoria Craw

Amy Gleason, a relatively low-profile health-care executive who did a past government stint, has been named as the administrator of the U.S. DOGE Service. It ends the uncertainty over who was technically in charge of DOGE after the White House said last week that Elon Musk, who had been the face of the agency and its efforts to cut government spending, had “no actual or formal authority” over government decisions, and was neither the official in charge nor an employee there. Here’s what to know about Gleason.

1. She is a former health-care executive and worked for Trump and Biden administrations

Before joining DOGE, which stands for the Department of Government Efficiency, in January, Gleason, 53, was the former chief product officer at Russell Street Ventures, the venture capital firm founded by health-care entrepreneur and key DOGE leader Brad Smith, where she had served from November 2021 until December 2024. She also worked as chief product officer at Main Street Health, another company by Smith that helps provide health care for rural Americans, over the same period, according to her LinkedIn profile.....

2. She was honored by the Obama White House and played a role in the Trump administration’s covid response.....

3. She studied in Knoxville and ran a consultancy business in Florida.....

4. She will be responsible for maximizing productivity at DOGE

According to the executive order Trump signed to establish the agency, DOGE’s administrator will be “dedicated to advancing the President’s 18-month DOGE agenda,” which includes modernizing government technology to “maximize governmental efficiency and productivity.”

I love how the media spends all of its time on DOGE, but none of its time on what DOGE is discovering.

Except for every now and then they release a “fact check”. But they never get curious about any of it.

It’s just destruction destruction destruction.

The media are too stupid to realize that if they actually did their jobs DOGE wouldn’t have a reason to exist.

Well if Musk isn’t running DOGE, Ms. Gleason must be the President that the RAT Meltedheads are always whining about.

DOGE, got a hot (ha ha) tip for you. I’d put it on X but, hey, still banned, so I’ll just leave it here...

Take a real good look at the LIHEAP program.

Hint, hint...

In more ways than one.

Letting the world out itself on Musk being “DOGE”, and then coming clean with who is actually in charge is classic Trump “Master Troll”.

You’d think the left would have figured this out by now. It’s fine to show “concern” about who he has “apparently” assigned to lead the organization, but don’t organize protests and neighborhood burning just yet. You might look a bit foolish.

Maybe Musk should become another unfunded NGO.

Full disclosure: I knew what you were alluding too - I guess my question mark was my way of protesting against the silly fake news premise - that Musk is the real POTUS..

I.e., the premise is so far fetched the humor doesn’t fly - no offense - but I know you were just making fun of the fake news
